I went to a Sanyo consumer complaint site. Apparently, the problem you have is very common to Sanyo TVs. One person called it a panel board problem, another called it a PCB board problem, and others left it unnamed.

It generally seemed to run $200-$250 to fix, with no promise that it won't happen again.

Quite a few do it I think, but the one I currently use the most is a Discover Escape card. It also saved my ass recently because they automatically give you the Collision Damage Waiver insurance that car rental companies try and get you to buy. I hate those things, but took a rock to the windshield on a business trip.

I hate that hard sell shit you have to go through when you rent a car. My company uses National, thankfully, we "skip the counter" all the time and don't deal with that crap. I think our contract with National has us protected from those types of accidents. But when we have to use another service, I usually just say yes, whatever, give me whatever you want and let me get the hell out of this airport.

I thought all credit cards automatically gave you rental car insurance like that, almost every article I've read praising credit cards lists the rental car insurance as a reason. But the asshole at Enterprise or whatever one time told me my credit card didn't cover anything. I felt like he was lying to me there, but I just bought the insurance anyway to get the hell out of there.
